Hello All,
I setup a 30 gallon shallow reef, and for sump I used 20G high with kit from fleaBay. Tank was running for two weeks, and two days ago I added Reef Octopus hob 1000 on that sump.
Almost 3 days, going strong cup was adjusted many times, and I think still need to be fine tuned. I have about half cup of light yellow crappy water.
I've read that skimmer need to break-in, but this looks like its producing something on the 3rd day
Question; Skimmer helps with removing organic waste, what parameter I can test in the tank before and after to see if skimmer really works?
Thank you
Aram
